Call for Nominations: Developing an Evidence Base and Sharing Settlement and Integration Practices that Work (DEB)
Pathways to Prosperity (P2P) is pleased to announce a new Call for Nominations for the project Developing an Evidence Base and Sharing Settlement and Integration Practices that Work (DEB). Pathways to Prosperity has been contracted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to share innovative promising practices in immigrant settlement and integration with an empirical basis for their effectiveness. To date we have produced 31 videos and briefs for this purpose, and over the next four years we will be producing an additional 34 videos and accompanying briefs on promising practices, targeting a range of service areas, providers, and client groups.
P2P is seeking nominations of promising practices from a variety of stakeholders involved in the settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees across Canada. Practices do not have to be IRCC funded and can be self-nominated. Practices must be able to demonstrate their effectiveness through an external evaluation or within-organization measurement of outcomes that can be shared (e.g., website URL; you would be able to send it).
Promising practices in this round should focus on one (or more) of the following areas:
- Helping newcomers find safe, affordable, and suitable housing
- Programs to address gender-based violence
- Anti-racism initiatives
- Partnerships with Indigenous-led organizations to create resources/training for newcomers and settlement staff
- Practices to support Francophone newcomers in a minority environment
- Practices in LGBTQIA+ settlement services
The Call for Nominations will be open from June 28 – July 23, 2021.
